Thread | Season Ticket Bolt On's
by Southamptonfan at 21:08 26 Jul 2024
Can anyone shed any light on what these are. I don't want one, just want to understand why anyone would get one and whether it's fair. It says "Cup and away priority" for silver and gold. What does this mean? Those who have bought bolt on's can get an away ticket before those without bolt on's?
So in practice, a fan with gold bolt on who hasn't been to any away games quite fancies going to Bournemouth away, so gets priority over those who have have been to lots of away games? |

Did we really sign someone who is not gonna ever make a real impression |

Thread | Right now we are weaker than last season
by GRIM at 15:17 25 Jul 2024
I know there's a long way to go & a lot more wheeling & dealing to be done before transfer window closes but as it stands at the moment we are weaker than we were last season.
Yes we've brought a lot of players in but none of them are upgrades on what we had last season.
Yes we've signed Downes but we had him last season so no upgrade.
We've lost Che Adams & have not replaced him yet so no upgrade.
We going to lose KWP & replaced him with Sugawara he might be OK but probably not an upgrade on KWP.
We've lost Stuey Armstrong & replaced him with Lallana that might have been an upgrade 10years ago but is not now with Lallana being 36 years old.
We're likely to lose Bednarek & brought in two ctr backs from lower leagues, Bedders is a proven Polish International & Premier player lge player so no upgrade there.
No sign of Fraser signing so no upgrade there.
We've got the same Coach / Manager so no upgrade there.
We've lost Jason Wilcox (Director of Football) & not replaced him so no upgrade there.
I live in hope that we bring in some quality (upgrades) as soon as possible, we are going to need them.

Some reports surfacing on social media that he's had a stroke, hopefully it's not anything too serious and he makes a quick recovery.
Aside from Stokes goal i'd say his against the Skates in '84 has to be the most iconic saints goal ever scored. |

Thread | Saints 3 Bordeaux 2 - Initial thoughts on match?
by Flamingbankers at 12:01 24 Jul 2024
First half thought Dibbling and Sam Amo played well and looked promising. Lis looked OK overall as back -up. Charles looked reasonable in the middle. Charley flattered to deceive - looks like he needs a lot more match time. Second half: Sulemana showed he could be a handful for any defence in the Prem ( with such an electric turn of pace) if we can integrate him effectively. Indeed the forward line of Sulemana, Armstrong and Stewart ( if he can actually get some injury free match time) could help keep us in the Prem. Smallbone came on displaying a more physical version so might fit nicely with Downes in the centre of the midfield. Boot looked pretty good at centre back. Sugawara is class and will be a Saints favourite this year. |

Thread | SONG DU JOUR - Charlie Taylor
by PatfromPoole at 07:13 24 Jul 2024
With the season approaching, is it not time to revisit Nick’s idea of a song for a player each day?
Just thought this one up whilst humming along to ABBA; obviously any song has to include a Pompey reference…..
Gimme, gimme, gimme
A left-back from Burnley
Charlie Taylor’s ours now
And he hates the Pompey
A sure-fire smash you’ll all agree….

A few rumours today about us signing him from Villarreal.
Don’t know a lot about him, other than him having played as a striker for Blackburn and Sheffield United. |

Anyone have a listen? They had the Bournemouth owner in there. He’s comes across very well, knows the club has limitations and they have plans to try and improve. The thing that stood out the most, was that they own multiple clubs, but the end game is to provide Bournemouth with players. Compare that to our owners who seem to be using us to build up their Turkish club. If you haven’t seen we are about to sign 2 Brazilians who are then off to Turkey. |

I talked about West Ham fans being shafted a few weeks back as they wont sell any more concession season tickets in certain parts of the ground. Now theyve released the general pricing for the first home game against Man City and there is no tickets for OAPs or children. |

Thread | Olympic teams - who is not eligible and why?
by saint901 at 17:18 22 Jul 2024
There's a difference of opinion between the Netherlands and Australia about who could/should be picked as an Olympian.
The Dutch have selected a 29 year old volleyball player who as a 19 year old was convicted of travelling to the UK and raping as 12 year old girl he had groomed on the internet. He served 12 months of his 4 year sentence.
The Aussies have said that anybody with a conviction for a sexual offence will NEVER be selected by them for an Olympics.
So, do we believe in the power of prison to reform characters and trust that the individual has - as reported - completely changed his ways and in now a mature adult and not a callow youth of 19? As such he deserves his place on sporting merit.
Or do we think that the moral outrage of his crime is sufficient for him to be forever barred from representing his country, regardless of his ability? If so, is there any hope of such a person ever being a "useful member of society"?
For the avoidance of doubt, I stand with the Dutch and think the Aussies are being very hypocritical given that they regularly "poach" talent from other countries, brush poor behaviours of their touring teams under the carpet on the grounds that "boys will be boys" and are generally ready to bend any rules if the individual sportsman/woman has talent and a chance. (Other countries, including us, do the same of course). |
